| 10 | x | = | 41 100 | ( | 100 | − | 10 | x | ) | − | 40 | × | 71 100 |
| Right side of the equation = | 41 100 | ( | 100 | − | 10 | x | ) | − | 142 5 |
| 10 | x | = | 41 100 | ( | 100 | − | 10 | x | ) | − | 142 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 41 100 | × | 100 | − | 41 100 | × | 10 | x | − | 142 5 |
| = | 41 | − | 41 10 | x | − | 142 5 |
| = | 63 5 | − | 41 10 | x |
| 10 | x | = | 63 5 | − | 41 10 | x |
| 10 | x | + | 41 10 | x | = | 63 5 |
141 10 | x | = | 63 5 |
| x | = | 63 5 | ÷ | 141 10 |
| = | 63 5 | × | 10 141 |
| = | 21 | × | 2 47 |
